Whelp, I guess I now own my last Samsung phone. It was a good run. I've been considering going pixel for a while so I can put graphineOS on it. This just helps me make that decision.

    Running GrapheneOS on a Pixel is incredibly easy. You don't need to be technical at all to get it set up. The instructions and the process are simple. Get on it!

    This, the web installer basically does everything for you, so no way to fuck up unless you disconnect the phone during the setup. Also haven't had any problems with banking apps and the like, though Eventim doesn't seem to work.

    That's technically true but the default experience would be a challenge for most noobs. It takes a bit of work to get apps for typical stuff, have to go get Fdroid and allow install from other sources etc

    You can use the Aurora store for apps. You can also use Google Play for apps if you're not super privacy minded. The beauty of GrapheneOS is that it doesn't have to be a locked down security privacy-minded OS if you don't want it to be. It can be just as functional as anything else with very few exceptions.

    It just gives you the option to pursue security and privacy if you want.

    On my Samsung I don't have G account. I use only apps from Fdroid or if I really really need anything from Gplay, I get it from Aurora... and I am blond, just learned about open source and installed Ubuntu on PC. Not me of course, IT technician 😅

    Thanks for your comment, because I really want to get pixel and custom ROM with GOS, but I am soooo scared to ruin something. Never done anything like that... I was even looking for IT specialist who could do that,but no phone service stores does it. I have read manuals how to do it, but still self-esteem is missing as I have know knowledge about it...

    You don't need knowledge yourself when the Graphene team has developed a well documented process here.. Just read everything once before you start so you know what to expect and then follow everything word-for-word and you're good to go. It's fool proof. You'll be fine.
